FEP pellets
Introduction:
NEOFLON FEP is a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and
hexafluoropropylene. NEOFLON FEP consists of carbon
atoms and fluorine atoms, as does PTFE, and has the
following molecular structure in which one of the fluorine
atoms bonded to the carbon atoms on the main chain is
replaced by a trifluoromethyl radical (-CF3), as compared
with the structure of PTFE.

NEOFLON FEP has a lower melt viscosity than PTFE
and can be processed like other thermoplastic resins by
the melt flow processes of extrusion, transfer, injection,
and compression molding. Because the bonding energy
between its carbon and fluorine atoms is so high, and
the molecule is completely filled with fluorine atoms,
NEOFLON FEP fluorocarbon polymer has excellent
thermal, electrical and chemical stability. Therefore, it
shows high performance in electrical, chemical and
medical applications in temperatures ranging from
extremely low to extremely high (−200°C~+200°C).

Features
NEOFLON FEP fluorocarbon polymer is a high performance material and is
almost equally comparable with PTFE in both chemical and electrical
properties.
In addition, it possesses excellent melt flow processability.

Superior reliability and retention of its properties in a wide thermal range
from cryogenic temperature to high temperature.
(–200~+200°C)
2) Chemical inertness
Most exposure conditions including heat, weather, light and moisture.
3) Non-sticking property
The lowest critical surface energy of any plastics; an excellent water and
oil repellent for non-stick and mold release use.
4) Electrical reliability
A low dielectric constant and dissipation factor and high dielectric
strength over a wide range of frequencies and temperatures.
5) Long-term weather resistance
Excellent resistance to ozone, sunlight and weather.
6) High transparency
Transparent with good transmittance of ultraviolet rays and visible rays;
the lowest refractive index of any plastics; characterized by very low light
reflection.

The mechanical properties of NEOFLON FEP are basically the same as
those of PTFE. Being a thermoplastic, NEOFLON FEP shows changes in
its mechanical properties depending upon temperature, but can be used in
temperatures ranging from 200°C to −200°C. (However, it is recommended
that you check before using at high temperatures, as this material may not
perform well under certain environmental conditions.)
Figures 2, 3 and 4 show the relationship between tensile strength and
temperature; elongation and temperature; and tensile modulus and
temperature.

3-5 Chemical properties
NEOFLON FEP was immersed in the following chemicals, and the results of
chemical absorption are shown in Figure 5 and Table 7.
Usually, the durability of a substance can be largely determined by
observing its weight change due to chemical absorption, as is shown in
Figure 5.
Figure 5 and Table 7 indicate that NEOFLON FEP can be used with all of
these chemicals as its absorption is less than 3mg/cm2.
Table 8 shows the weight change of NEOFLON FEP measured while
immersed in various chemicals in comparison with those of PTFE and
NEOFLON PVDF. NEOFLON FEP was found to be slightly influenced by
chlorinated solvents, but uneffected by other organic solvents,
(Immersion chemicals)

soda (50%), Aqueous ammonia (28%) Toluene, Diethyl amine, Chloroform,

Processing
Since NEOFLON FEP have a comparatively low melt viscosity and good
thermal stability at over its melting point, they can be processed like a
thermoplastic resin by extrusion, transfer, injection, or compression molding.
NP-101 is suitable for high speed wire and cable coating.
NP-20 is used mainly as a wire and cable coating material.
NP-30, 120 are suitable for use with heavy wall wire insulation, tubes, and
cable jacketing. NP-40 is suitable for films and sheets, tubes, pipe and
valve linings, and sleeves. The selection guide for molding material is
shown in Table 12.

The molding temperature should be determined in accordance with the best
suited molding method for the shape and size of the object. Desirable
temperature for processing NEOFLON FEP molding material is
approximately 330~400°C.

Figure 16 shows the relationship between melt viscosity and temperature.
Table 13 shows the critical shear rate of FEP as 360~400°C; if the shear
rate exceeds the critical shear rate while NEOFLON FEP is being
processed, melt fracture will result thus making the molding surface rough.
Therefore, the molding method used must have a shear rate lower than the
above mentioned critical shear rates.

Studies have indicated that NEOFLON FEP begins to degrade at 420°C
and liberate HF, which is corrosive to metal surfaces.
Therefore, the resident time in extruders or other molding machines should
be held to the minimum.
Care should be taken not to overheat NEOFLON FEP molding pellets
during processing. In addition, adequate mechanical ventilation should be
provided and personnel should be cautioned against inhaling the fumes
liberated during processing. All surfaces of the molding machine that come
in contact with melting FEP resin should be made of corrosion resistant
materials.

4-2 Injection molding
NEOFLON FEP 20 has a high melt viscosity and requires a higher
processing temperature compared to general thermoplastics. It is necessary
to use a screw type injection molding machine with the shortest possible
distance between the sprue and runner gate, and the temperature of the
mold must reach 200~230°C. The following is an example of injection
molding conditions:
a) Shape of molding:
110 (L) × 30 (W) × 2 (T) mm
60 (L) × 40 (W) × 3 (T) mm

b) Shape of gate:

For compression molding of NEOFLON FEP pellets, the recommended wall
thickness are:
Grade NP-20, 22 10mm or less
Grade NP-30, 40 10mm or more
Grades NP-20, NP-22, NP-30 and NP-40 can be processed at 330~350°C.
If the temperature reaches higher than 350°C, it is difficult to remove
moldings, or the surface of the mold becomes corroded. Desirable molding
pressure is 4.9 to 7.8 MPa. During cooling, this pressure should be
maintained until the temperature of the mold decreases to approximately
200°C; otherwise, sink marks or voids may remain in the moldings.

4-4 Method of coloring
5. Application
When it is necessary to color the FEP resin, use a colorant which is able to
resist a temperature of 400°C or above. The dry-blend and master batch
methods are available for coloring, and generally the master batch method
provides an easier and better dispersion than the dry-blend method. Ten
colors are available as master batch (color pellets), and the desired colored
product may easily be obtained by the following rate of blending:

The following points should be followed to ensure safety when handling
NEOFLON FEP:
● WARING: VAPORS HARMFUL IF INHALED.
The work area should be adequately ventilated at all times, because HF,
COF2 begin to be produced at approximately above 205°C and the
volume increases at approximately 360°C. If FEP is incinerated, the
acidic gases must be removed by alkaline scrubbing techniques.
● Personnel should be cautioned against inhaling the fumes liberated
during processing and provided with suitable protective equipment.
● Smoking should be prohibited in work areas, since smoking
fluoropolymer contaminated tobacco may result in inhalation of
decomposed gas. Do not bring tobacco in the work area.
● Avoid breathing dust and contact with eyes.
● Wash hands and face after handling.
● Waste generated during processing should be treated by waste treatment
specialists and/or licensed waste contractor disposed of in accordance
with federal, state and local waste disposal regulations.
● Read the "Material Safety Date Sheet" before beginning processing
operations.
